At the time of the survey best speakers of Maori in Horotiu were adults over 25. Although none of the children under 15 spoke Maori, a third of the people between 15-24 spoke the language well. Over half of the people under 25 had a good understanding of Maori, but they usually replied in English when spoken to in Maori.
